Donna's original Summer Fruit Recipe has not been changed and is a reader favorite since 2013.

The great thing about cooking with friends and family is sharing all of our favorite recipes and childhood memories with each other.

Here is Donna's original post-

"My daughter, Anne, converted me to gazpacho. Maybe it was the way her eyes sparkled when she talked about her childhood memories of what she called “liquid salad.” I don’t know, but I do know I think of her every time I eat gazpacho now.

And so, I had this amazing cantaloupe gazpacho for dessert at a restaurant across the street from where I work and I daydreamed about it for days. So light, cool, refreshing. And I pledged then and there to make my own version.

You can use whatever fruit in whatever combo you like – but I liked more peaches/nectarine flavor than plum flavor. And the addition of cucumber is shockingly perfect with the fruit.

With temperatures breaking records everywhere in the West, this is a perfect way to end a meal on a hot summer day!
